AHS Zoo School invites community to view projects

ASHEBORO — The Asheboro High School Zoo School will host an open house event for the community on Tuesday, Aug. 19, from 4-6 p.m.

The event will be held at the AHS Zoo School campus, located to the right of the North America admissions entrance at the N.C. Zoo.

The open house will give community members the opportunity to see student work and learn about Zoo School initiatives.

Guests will also enjoy fresh produce from the AHS Zoo School’s Community Garden, a collaborative project between the N.C. Zoo, Sodexo and the school. Students take care of the garden and sell the produce to Sodexo, a quality-of-life services organization focused on education and health care.

The Zoo School is a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)-focused program for 10th-, 11th- and 12th-grade Asheboro High School students. Students who participate learn on-site at the zoo. The school is in its eighth year.
